As Promised...All About the Numbers 7, 8, 9, & 10

 As promised I am including file folder activities for the following numbers: 7, 8, 9, and 10. These activities will take me through until Christmas Break. I will start working on activities for 11 - 20. So stay tuned for updates and additions.

The number file folder games contain the following activities:
  • Number Mats - Which can be used as playdoh mats, children can drive matchbox cars along the path of the numbers, or they can use dry erase markers to trace the number.
  • Number Pattern Blocks - There are number pattern block mats and pattern blocks to print.
  • Sort the Number by Color.
  • Sort the Number by Size.
  • Number Puzzles
  • Number Work Mats- Each number work mat contains cards with the numeral, its name, ten frames, and corresponding number of objects representing the target number.
  • Can You Find the Number…? Children can find and circle the target number out of a grid of numbers.
  • Number Line: The number line enables children to see the number in numerical order. The activity encourages the children to write the missing number using the number line as a visual guide.

Jack and Jill Resources are Finally Done!


I have finally put the finishing touches on the Jack and Jill Resources. I have included Go Fish Cards, ~ill Rhyming Word Bingo, Rhyming Activities, Pocket Chart Cards/Bean Bag Cards, Train and Caboose illustrating how the engine changes but the caboose (ending of the word stays the same).

One note on the links to the downloads. I am using Microsoft's SkyDrive to upload and share the files. The only downside is if you decide to download a link it will ask you to sign in to SkyDrive or create an account. This service is free, that is why I am using it for now. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

 
Jack and Jill Resources Book – Is a full color collection of hands-on resources to accompany the nursery rhyme Jack and Jill. The resource book contains a (2) page full color poster illustrating the nursery rhyme. There are pocket chart word cards/bean bag cards, a full page of engaging activities to use with the Jack and Jill Resources. There is also, ~ill Rhyming Word Bingo, and the train and caboose illustrating the ~ill Sight Words.

Read, Make, Write –Read! Make! Write! Read: Read the word together. Make: Use letter tiles or magnets to build the word in the second box. Write: Finally, practice writing the word in the bottom box. Print on card stock and laminate the pages for extra durability use the letter tiles that are included go along in the ‘making’ process. This idea was originally found at http://homeschoolcreations.com/Read_Build_Write_Printables.html. Originally created by Jolanthe @ http://homeschoolcreations.com. I have made modifications to the original idea to go along with the nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill.
